Annual Community Knit Donations

There is a great, local need for cozy clothing items in our wintery weather. Many hands make light work and together we can make a difference. Last year our library patrons were very generous with their time and talent, so let's do it again! Use your knitting skills to warm community members who could use something special. Your donations will be distributed by the Newark-Wayne Community Hospital.
